Detailed explanation-1: -Urine is made in the renal tubules and collects in the renal pelvis of each kidney. The urine flows from the kidneys through the ureters to the bladder. The urine is stored in the bladder until it leaves the body through the urethra.

Detailed explanation-2: -A ureteral stricture is a narrowing of this tube. When a narrowing in the ureter occurs, the kidney cannot function normally and will be damaged over time. There will also be dilation of the kidney (known as hydronephrosis).

Detailed explanation-3: -The urine flows from the kidneys to the bladder through two thin tubes of muscle called ureters, one on each side of your bladder. Your bladder stores urine. Your kidneys, ureters, and bladder are part of your urinary tract. You have two kidneys that filter your blood, removing wastes and extra water to make urine.

Detailed explanation-4: -Purpose: It is thought that the 3 narrowest points of the ureter are the ureteropelvic junction, the point where the ureter crosses anterior to the iliac vessels and the ureterovesical junction. Textbooks describe these 3 sites as the most likely places for ureteral stones to lodge.

Detailed explanation-5: -The ureter is a small tube, or duct, that connects the bladder and kidneys. Urine passes through the ureter from the kidneys to the bladder. The urethra is the tubular path that connects the bladder to the body’s exterior, allowing urine to exit the body.
